Importance of Christian Baptism
According to Steve Lenk of Active Christianity in his article, “What is the importance of Christian Baptism?”, Baptism is the immersion of a Christian in water to signify the end of an old way of life and the beginning of a new one.
Same with the belief of Elevation Church, Lank also believes that Baptism is a public declaration to God and others that one will live a new life as an overcomer as a result of their faith.
It is mentioned in the same article that Christian baptism is first mentioned in the Bible in the narratives of John the Baptist. John's baptism was for the forgiveness of sins.
In Matthew 3:11, it says "I baptize you with water toward repentance, but He who comes after me is mightier than I... He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."
In the same article, it states that baptism is now about more than the remission of sins, because of the new covenant established by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. It is a promise to live the life of a disciple before God.
It is also mentioned that someone becomes a candidate to be baptized if they have made a lifelong decision to follow Jesus, obey God's Word, they have confessed their sins and desire to be rid of them, and live a new life.
